The Indian Plumbing Association (IPA) proudly announces that PlumbexIndia 2026, the nation’s premier exhibition for water, sanitation, and plumbing products and technologies, will be held from 16th to 18th April 2026 at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC), Bengaluru.
PlumbexIndia 2026 is supported by two key Ministries of the Government of India — the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) and the Ministry of Jal Shakti (MoJS) — reinforcing its alignment with national priorities on water security, sanitation, and sustainable urban development.
PlumbexIndia continues its legacy as a leading industry platform that brings together manufacturers, developers, architects, consultants, policymakers, contractors, and innovators under one roof to shape the future of India’s building services ecosystem.
As the largest and most influential platform for the plumbing, water, sanitation and building industry, PlumbexIndia has spent decades catalysing sectoral growth, contributing to standardization, and introducing global technologies to the Indian market. Over the years, it has played a pivotal role in advancing the plumbing and sanitation sector by creating a unified platform for knowledge exchange, innovation showcases, and business collaboration. Previous editions have attracted thousands of visitors and hundreds of exhibitors, reinforcing its role in driving industry growth, innovation adoption, and sustainable practices across the construction and infrastructure value chain.
Why Bengaluru?
PlumbexIndia has evolved beyond an exhibition — it is a catalyst for industry transformation. By connecting manufacturers, start-ups, and solution providers with architects, real estate developers, and MEP consultants, the platform enables meaningful partnerships that translate into real-world projects and scalable impact.
With Bengaluru expanding rapidly and facing unique urban water management challenges, PlumbexIndia 2026 serves as a critical convergence point for brands to showcase solutions in a market actively seeking Net-Zero Water buildings, smart water systems, and advanced MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) technologies.
PlumbexIndia 2026 will host over 15,000 visitors, representing a large and diverse pool of stakeholders, including architects, MEP consultants, real estate developers, contractors, channel partners, technical professionals, and representatives from government and urban development bodies.
Mr. Balkrishna Mehta, Chairman – IPA Bengaluru Chapter, added:
“Bengaluru is fully prepared to host the biggest names in the global plumbing, water, and sanitation industry. At BIEC, we are creating a focused business environment where brands can directly engage with the decision-makers shaping the city’s rapidly evolving skyline and urban water infrastructure. From smart water heating solutions to advanced sewage treatment and sanitation systems, PlumbexIndia 2026 will serve as a launchpad for innovations that will redefine water efficiency, sanitation standards, and sustainable living in Indian homes and commercial spaces over the next decade.”
